Evolving Agentic Engineering at Prisma

A follow-up on what we learned after putting Drive into practice: where an opinionated process helped, where it became too heavy, and why we are moving toward leaner skills, stronger plans, and cheaper execution as models and harnesses improve.

We got local models to triage the OpenClaw repo for FREE!*

Workflow SDK now compresses run and step payloads

The 5 beta now compresses all run, hook, and step inputs and outputs with .Workflow SDKzstd Compression kicks in automatically, but only when it helps. Small payloads stay as-is, larger ones get compressed before they're persisted. Compressed payloads use less storage and are faster to read and write, so your workflows run faster and cost less. The savings are largest for JSON payloads typical of AI conversations, where storage size and cost can drop by up to 85%. One typical Workflow, run and

Sub-agents: splitting context across specialized AI agents

If you've ever watched a single AI agent lose the plot on a complex task, you've probably wondered whether splitting the work across multiple agents would help. It can. But the split comes with its own headaches. Agents lose track of each other's work...

Dockerfile Builder: a small tool that solves a specific problem

Dockerfiles that pass a casual build check can still fail silently in production when they lack proper layer caching, run as root, or omit health checks. For teams without a dedicated container specialist, arriving at an optimized, secure configuration often means multiple rounds of scanning, tweaking, and rebuilding — time that could go into shipping features. Dockerfile Builder is an interactive configuration tool that generates production-grade Dockerfiles following current best practices. Ra

👾 Server Access Logs with GoAccess

Part 1: Self-hosting on Jetson Orin Nano Cool! Now that the mini web server is up and running, how can I see web traffic easily? I discovered GoAccess recently, which is a free and open source tool for checking out server logs in real time. There are two way to view it. At first I was happy to just see nicely-parsed server logs in the terminal. Ahhhh, organization! It gives you a bunch of interesting stuff to look at. Here is what the terminal view looks like: You know, inviting traffic to a we
